Default Thermal layer Depth

I've been doing a search for the Thermal layer Depth on the forums but can't find a firm answer. Plenty of mention of it but I haven't seen it posted anywhere. At what depth is the Thermal layer, and does anyone know if it's static or does it change depending on where you are? ex: off Hawiian coast compared to off of New Guinea?

It is at different depths, depending where you are.

Default It changes according to where you are in the game

But there is also a small program aplication called the thermalizer listed here that makes it change according to times of the year.

Just when you think youve seen it all.

I just dive till the diving officer 'announces' "passing thermal layer" and make a mental note of it.

I do this as a matter or routine so I know what that depth is more or less beforehand.

It helps some getting below it but its not a stealth sheild. No need to go stomping around there at flank.

I haven't dived all that deep so far so it wasn't announced. O.K. now I know, thanks.

As others have said, it's not a specific depth all the time. So far I've only seen it between 150 and 200 ft.
